Engraved Light Poem
Tsai Yi-Chin
In the Nordic winter, sunlight is fleeting and intensely warm; in its absence, the world sinks into the coldest shades of blue. This work is hand-engraved in the dark with logographic characters onto 16mm film. The film unfolds as a visual poem, where the marks resonate with the movement of light and color.
